  1. PANTHER and Biobase TRANSFAC tools were used for gene ontology (GO) mapping of proteins identified by mass spectrometry analysis of IAP-purified plasma exosomes from 3 HIV-negative and 4 HIV-positive subjects in the merged datasets shown in Supplemental Tables 3 and 4. GO groups were assigned to the indicated biological functions. Individual proteins may be annotated to more than one category. Proteins identified by 2 or more unique peptides are shown in bold.
